About Home Tree Leather
Growing up in the country meant long drives to get from home to basically anywhere.
When you’re little and you don’t understand road signs yet, you look for the landmarks. In rural Iowa, surrounded by corn and bean fields, landmarks are limited to water towers, church spires, silos and a few trees.
Hence, our ‘Home Tree’ was what my siblings and I looked for to signify the end of road trips.
Fast forward a few years and moving to our first acreage. Again, our landmark was the tall, rugged, gnarly old cottonwood tree that would signify our journey home was close to an end. I’m sure many rural residents can attest to the landmarks in our little neighborhoods. Whether they be the church spire, the neighbors old blue Harvestore silos or that gnarly old tree in the fence line that has survived a thousand raging thunderstorms and blizzards.
It’s where we call home.
My home as a child, as a young mother in a fixer-upper and now in our farmhouse in Shelby County Iowa, has always been land marked by the trees. I hope you can find a piece of home here at Home Tree.
